Welcome to DoNotes Nexus edition
Hi! I'm Suleman, Founder of DoNotes, and I'm really excited to share with you all the latest update to DoNotes: Nexus edition.
What is DoNotes Nexus edition?
DoNotes has been around since November 2021, and while it started as a side-project, it's quickly become a highly sophisticated note-taking web app. DoNotes Nexus is an endeavour to expand DoNotes to be so much more. As explained later, we will be involving the community more than ever before to make DoNotes the ultimate student platform. Aside from all these awesome new missions, we also wanted to improve the existing note-taking experience, and that is why we completeley re-designed the entire site from the ground-up. However, we're not done yet, DoNotes Nexus is still in the latter stages of its Public BETA program, so expect more features to come soon!
The new note editor:
The new editor is designed to be much easier to use, with all the buttons now residing in the top bar. You can now customise your pen from the top menu which increases efficiency. We have also made it so that you can seamleassly switch between selecting and typing mode by clicking on drawings or pictures and clicking on text.
The new DnDrive
The new DnDrive is now aesthetically pleasing, with an easy-to-read file size and date modified. We also have folders to help compartmentalise files (renaming folders is WIP). Files also have icons based on their file type, and you can upload multiple files at once.
Calander
With the new calander, you can add tasks to any day of the week, and navigate between weeks to set tasks in the future!
Chores
One of the new features of DoNotes Nexus edition is chores, with chores, you can add daily, weekly, monthly or yearly tasks to complete!
Subjects and modules:
Subjects and modules are a great way to organise your notes, create subject folders, and then fill these subjects with all the modules related to your course, then create notes for those modules
Profiles
Profiles are another new feature in DoNotes, create your own custom catchphrase, bio and profile picture!
Upcoming features:
We are working on implementing the following features:
- Bringing back PDF imports
- Collaborative note-taking
- Forums
- Fully custom pages for users
Changes:
With the advent of Nexus edition, we're thrilled to announce tons of new features, including:
- More seamless flow between typing and drawing
- Designated mobile mode and apps
- An offline app that can also connect to your DoNotes account and download your notes
- Increased efficiency
- Increased freedom with DnDrive to be able to upload photos, videos, pdfs and more!
- Chores to keep on top of daily routine
- Tasks to not miss those important events
- Subjects and modules to help organise your notes
- Custom user profiles with your own 'Catchphrase' and Biography
We've also made loads of internal changes that will help improve efficiency and ease for you, the user:
- We have changed all important messages to become 'Pretty', so they can appear as a little banner when they occur, this is useful for confirming any renaming or deletion of notes
- We have re-created our user system to include increased encryption, and all data is encrypted (except your catchphrase, bio, profile picture and note names (we'll be encrypting note names soon)
- We now e-mail you when major changes, such as password changing occur on your account.
- We also will not make you click any links in e-mails except for your initial e-mail verification.
As we have changed most of our systems, there are a few things to be aware of:
- We no longer support sign in with Microsoft
- You cannot add a social account to an existing account
- Only your primary e-mail will be logged on our servers.
- There may be some corruption when some notes are transferred to Nexus.
